On Wednesday, January 28, 2026, The Florida Bar filed a petition seeking the interim suspension of attorney Hannah Marie Diaz from practicing law in Florida. The petition, filed with the Supreme Court of Florida, cites Florida Rule Regulating Florida Bar 3-5.3 as the basis for the request.
The case is entitled The Florida Bar v. Hannah Marie Diaz,” with case no. 2026-30,430(9A).
The Florida Bar asserts that Diaz is subject to the jurisdiction and disciplinary rules of the court and is currently a member in good standing.
The petition states that Diaz was arrested on August 22, 2025, on charges of battery on a law enforcement officer, classified as a third-degree felony, and disorderly conduct, a second-degree misdemeanor. The arrest affidavit is attached to the petition as Exhibit A. The Florida Bar further notes that on December 8, 2025, Diaz was formally charged with the aforementioned offenses, and the charging document is attached as Exhibit B.
The Florida Bar indicates that the charges against Diaz remain pending. The petition also mentions that Diaz was released from custody while awaiting the resolution of these charges. The Bar argues that these charges reflect negatively on Diaz’s fitness to practice law.
The petition seeks an order from the Court directing Diaz to demonstrate why she should not be suspended from practicing law until further notice. The Florida Bar requests that the Court set dates for Diaz’s response and any subsequent reply.
According to Avvo.com, Ms. Diaz is an attorney in Maitland, Florida. She attended the Barry University Dwayne O. Andreas School of Law. She acquired her law license in Florida in 2019.
